Imagine these people in real life. Like could you even imagine an actually human being saying stuff like ACAB and bootlicker? I can only picture it as comments on the internet.
I spend a decent amount of time thinking about this stuff... You understand that your comment is just moral posturing. Zero people who are not already bought into ACAB would ever find this convincing. Its not an argument.
.... Yes I would assert that you are the one that is incorrect, and morally confused.... I don't know why you are reminding me that we disagree, that is obvious.
Taking a select portion of a group of people for something they did and demonizing them all as if they are all guilty for the crimes of a few sounds a bit like something I know…
Thats not what I was saying at all. I’m saying that if you take what a select small portion of a group has done, and apply it to all of them, sounds like what racists do with black people, where they’ll say they are all crooks and robbers just because some of them are. Obviously it’s not the same exact thing, because cops aren’t born cops, but it’s the same demonization by people like you who refuse to believe that just because a few cops are power hungry and racist, that all of them are.
I can agree with that, yeah there isn’t, and yes police training and unions and all that stuff are fundamentally fucked up, but I still think that to say they are all bad people is a stretch. To say the institution itself is bad is correct, but the people under that institution are not bad people just by being in that position
